Tattoo Time
5.20.11 by Q3
Adam has been saying he was going to get another tattoo for ages. And yesterday, he finally did it.
Adam and Sauli both got tats on their arms at High Voltage Tattoo (AKA Kat Von DCs) which was recommended to Adam by Tommy Joe Ratliff. The tattoo artist was Kevin Lewis.
Adam selected a key tattoo that was inspired by a drawing by Hans Haveron. He tweeted:
Adamlambert: Based on drawing by Hans Haveron and tattooed by Kevin Lewis! www.haveronstudios.com say.ly/CxGl08 [/b]
Some fans speculated that the tat design was inspired by this painting but I believe it was based on a drawing by the same artists, not a painting. And since Adam specifically tweeted drawing, I think that he may have actually asked Hans Haveron to design it for him. The design for a tattoo is usually a drawing. Just putting forward a guess.
Sauli seems to have just enhanced his sleeve.
Adam gets a tattoo…
The tats make TMZ and Adam gets a rare nice report…..
Adam Lambert gets a new tattoo on Wednesday night (May 18) in Los Angeles.
The 29-year-old singer was joined by pal Sauli Koskinen, who also got new body art on his arm, at High Voltage Tattoo - better known as Kat Von D¢s tattoo parlor!

"There's no cooler way in Hollywood for a young couple to show their love for one another than by getting tattoos together. Rihanna and Chris Brown did it, so did Katy Perry and Russell Brand - now you can add American Idol alum Adam Lambert and his boyfriend to that to that list. "

Adam vs. the Paps (again!)
5.19.11 Source: Twitter
adamlambert Adam Lambert: Man these paparazzi dudes are getting pesky. it's like having a rat problem. Anyone know where to get traps?
adamlambert Adam Lambert: Don't get me wrong- not upset... Just sharing.
Adam got quite a number of suggestions about what to do with the paps. This is my fav:
Negativeneil @adamlambert laser pointers!
via web in reply to adamlambert
adamlambert Adam Lambert: @milestougeaux @negativeneil haha well i didn't know u needed a gig... Ha
(I think the job reference is because Neil is headed back to California and needs to get a job.)
Adam’s fav, Haley, booted off Idol!
5.19.11 by Q3
Haley out at #3. Adam tweets a nice message:
adamlambert Adam Lambert
Sad for Haley... But it's all good! Can't wait to hear her music!!
Some West Coast Adam followers were not happy he spoiled the show but it IS all over the web (and they were kidding):
Adam the Spoiler
@slirt
greg smith
@adamlambert thx 4 blowin it, some of us are still @ work in L.A.!
Adam Lambert
@ @slirt shit! Sorry man.
All-country final holds no interest for me. I’ll say “whatever” and pass on this one. Or in Randy-speak, “We got a Cold One tonight!” – or next week. If you have a comment on Idol Season 10, please post it here: www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=ai10&thread=65&page=111
Monte nailed my feelings perfectly:
Monterrific Monte Pittman
@ @adamlambert instead of a Finale, they could call it the American Idol Hoedown! It could be like Hee Haw.
And Adam replies…..
adamlambert Adam Lambert: @monterrific yeeehaw! American Country Idol.

RCA Ed talks some more
RCA Ed on AdamOfficial.com 5.19.11 answering a member question about certification for WWFM:
"Guys, take it easy - if Adam cared about this or that single being certified, he'd ask and we'd make it so. Really, it's that simple."
"The only comment I'll add is that professionals in the music business at large don't really keep tabs on who gets certified for what, because the Soundscan and radio airplay data already tells us what we need to know without the need for a shiny plaque. Hey don't get me wrong! Plaques are nice - I have a few nice ones on my wall for services rendered, blah, blah, blah - but they're not the Vince Lombardi trophy - haha! At least not to business folk, and I for one don't like to glorify them, as though they belong to me instead of the artists behind them"
Someone asking for timeframe for Adams new single to be released:
"And I could GUESS at a release date for Adam's next single, but that's all it would be: a guess. And you know that if I even guess, I'll be held to it by some folks, and there's honestly no firm time-frame in place yet for Adam's next album. I could give you a few ideal or possible release targets, but all would be conjecture.
The man is working hard, though, and we're still working on preparing the in-studio footage you guys got wind of as soon as possible."

Fairness: 9 – vote once a day, no spamming.

Vote for the Billboard.com Fan Favorite Album Award
Poll rating (0=lowest rating, 10=highest rating)
Adam benefit: 5 – this award show is televised and winners are often invited on the show, but it is mostly booked already.
Fairness: 2 – allows spamming, vote as much as you want, some bot/automated voting prevention.
Potential to win: 1 – Adam is a write in and it takes much longer to vote for a write in, there are 30 named artists on the ballot.
Fan value: 5 – this would be a nice win for Adam and nice for fans.
RECOMMENDATION – IMO the chance of winning is low so I would not invest much time. I doubt he will be invited to perform even if he wins.
NOTE - RCA Promo tweeted to vote in this poll so they believe it is important.
"When the Billboard Music Awards are handed out in Las Vegas on May 22, there's one trophy that will stand apart all the others - and that's because the decision of who gets it is entirely up to you.
